hah. I did actually read that, but I didn't express myself well.
I meant to point out explicitly that on OS X say, if you run this as
non-root, you'll get a user resource definition back, it just won't
contain the password.
ie
nigelk$ ralsh user testuser
user { 'testuser':
comment => 'testuser',
home => '/Users/testuser',
shell => '/bin/bash',
uid => '123',
gid => '123',
ensure => 'present'
}
nigelk$ sudo ralsh user testuser
user { 'testuser':
comment => 'testuser',
password => "..........",
home => '/Users/testuser',
shell => '/bin/bash',
uid => '123',
gid => '123',
ensure => 'present'
}
